As per `perldoc -f split`
If LIMIT is specified and positive, splits into no more than that many fields
(though it may split into fewer). If LIMIT is unspecified or zero, trailing null
fields are stripped (which potential users of "pop" would do well to remember).
If LIMIT is negative, it is treated as if an arbitrarily large LIMIT had been
specified.
